Close-up of hands adjusting the felt eyes and face of a large puppet figure by photographer Thomas Prior

Thomas Prior, Photographer, Berlin

About

This close-up portrait photograph by Berlin-based photographer Thomas Prior captures a pair of aged hands interacting with the felt face of a large puppet figure. The hands, adorned with a silver bracelet and rings, delicately manipulate the oversized orange eyelids and round eyes of the tan, fabric-covered head. The composition emphasizes tactile textures, from the woven texture of the puppet's skin to the detailed skin on the hands. Warm, direct lighting highlights the intricate details of the scene, creating an intimate and tactile visual narrative.
